Catch up time- Oooo k. Last time on The Way Things Work Out- Usagi and Chibi-usa
FINNALY stopped crying after Bulma dragged them out of the house to go to Goku?s
for some kind of display of their power. Vegeta and Goku are now lounging in
lawn chairs, wearing sunglasses, and drinking Coke. Bulma and Chichi are inside
making dinner and complaining about their husbands. The senshi are now the
senshi and are ready to blast Goku for dragging them over to his house while
they were trying to comfort Usagi in her time of need. Whew! Clear as mud? Oh,
well. Now on with the rest of the story!
Note: This and proceeding chapters are NOT anti sailor moon. It is a fact that
any one of the Z warriors could take on and kill all the senshi at once. Not
that they will, of course, but I just thought I?d tell you. Tables can turn ;).
The Way Things Work Out
Part 5: Hardly Worth It
By: Genki Dama
"Hey Dad." Goku turned around. "Hi Goten. What are you doing here? I thought you
went with Trunks to Central Capital." Goten walked over to the two saiya-jins
and leaned on the back of the lawn chairs. "Oh, I just came back to get a TV. My
hotel room doesn?t have one. Wow, what a great sun set. ....Hey, who are the
chicks in the short skirts?" "Who?" Goten sighed. "Them, Dad." He pointed at the
senshi. "Oh, just some girls from past who came to Kami?s tower and live with
us." "Uh..Ok." "Kakarot, aren?t you going to get them going yet?" "Oh, right. Hey
girls!" The senshi turned to Goku. "Here?s what you have to do. Use your powers
and try to..uh" Goku looked around and slapped Goten on the back. "Try to knock
out Goten here." "What!? Dad!" "Go on son. Go and try to block their attacks."
"But, I have to.." "It can wait." Goku stood up, picked Goten up, and tossed him
up the hill. "Buuuuuut. Oof." "Ok girls! Nail him!" Goku sat back down.
Usagi turned to her friends. "Well, should we do what he says?" "I don?t think
so." "How come Mars?" "Well, why should we attack him? I mean from the looks of
it he really didn?t want to get here with us." "But what if it?s one of his
enemies?" "Hmm, good question. I?ll ask. Hey you!" "What?!" "Is this guy your
enemy?" "Uh... yeah!" "You see. Let?s get him." "RIGHT!" "Who wants to go first?"
"I do." Uranus stepped in front of the rest. Goten pulled his head out of the
ground and shook the dirt out of his hair. "I hate this." "World Shaking!!"
"Huh?" Goten looked up just as the ball of energy hit him in the gut. The senshi
winced. Goten flew backwards. Goku took another sip of Coke. "What! That should
have killed him!" "Ow." Goten stood up, one hand on his gut. "Hey, that was a
pretty good shot." "But, but.." "What?" "How could you survive?" "Um, because
you?re weak?" "ME? WEAK? I?ll show you weak! SPACE SWORD BLASTER!" Uranus? beam
of energy rushed at Goten. He grinned and knocked it away with his hand. ALL the
senshi gasped. "What..How..?" "Let me show how it?s done Uranus." Jupiter shoved
Uranus away. "Jupiter Oak Evolution!" Electric leaves flew from Jupiter?s hands.
Goten allowed the attack to hit him. The explosion sent a cloud of dust high
into the air. "Ha ha ha. That was pathetic." The dust cleared enough for Jupiter
to see Goten standing before her, unscathed, laughing at her. "Pathetic huh?
WELL EAT THIS!!" Jupiter lunged forward and slugged Goten in the nose. He fell
to the ground blood smeared all over his face. "Oowwww!!!" Goten grabbed his
nose. "WOW! Vegeta did you see that! She floored him in one punch!" Vegeta put
his hand to his mouth in thought. "Hmmm."
"Wow great job Sailor Jupiter." "Thanks Sailor Moon." Jupiter gave her a thumbs
up. Sailor Moon smiled. Suddenly Mars shoved her out of the way. "LOOK OUT!" A
small ki blast hit Jupiter in the side. She reeled back in pain, but remained
standing. "Shoot, Vegeta. She?s still up. She could be a really great fighter.
Don?t you think?" "Hmmm..Could be."
"Sailor Jupiter! Are you OK?" Sailor Moon rushed forward. "That?ll teach you to
break my nose!" "Shut up you!" She turned back to her friend. "Can you still
fight?" "I don?t think so." Pain shot through Jupiter?s side once more. She
clinched her teeth. "Don?t worry it?ll be ok." Moon motioned for a couple of the
other senshi to help her off the field. Mars and Mercury held Jupiter?s arm as
they walked back to the others. Sailor Moon remained in front of Goten. "Ok,
you! I?m going to teach you never to hurt one of my friends! Moon Gorgeous
Meditation!!" Goten formed a ki shield and Moon?s attack deflected off towards
the mountains in the distance. Sailor Moon stood gawk eyed. She dropped the
Kaleidoscope in surprise. Pluto came up beside Sailor Moon. "Maybe I should give
it a try. Hmm?" "Go a head." Sailor Moon sighed in hopelessness. She picked up
her kaleidoscope and walked back to the group. Her head hung low in disbelief.
"Uranus. Neptune. Come over here please." Pluto motioned to the other outers.
"What is it Pluto?" "I think if all three of us attack at once we could kill
him." "It?s worth a try." "Ok, let?s do it. Dead scream." "SPACE SWORD
BLASTER!!" "SUBMARINE REFLECTION!!" All three shots hit their mark. The shock
wave knocked Neptune over. Uranus pulled her back to her feat. The dust began to
clear. "I think we got him." "Wait what?s that?" "What?" "Listen." Pluto turned
her head to get better hearing. Soft laughter came from within the dust. All
three gasped as Goten emerged. His shirt shredded, blood running down his face,
muscles strained, and laughing softly. "That was quite an attack. Of course, my
niece, Pan could have blocked that one." Pluto shook her head. "I can?t believe
it. Isn?t there anyone that can hurt this guy?" "What about me?" "Hmm?" Sailor
Saturn stepped out of the group and up to the other three. "Are you sure you
want to try?" "Mm Hmm." Saturn nodded her head. "All right then. Good luck." The
outers stepped away from Saturn. Saturn raised her hand and instantly the
silence glaive appeared.
"Ooo. Isn?t THAT a trick?" Goku took another sip of Coke. Diana jumped from
Goku?s head to Vegeta?s. "Hey, get off!" She jumped off of Vegeta?s head and
into his lap next to a sleeping Artemis. "Stupid cat." "If you don?t like cats
so much why do you have one on your lap? And petting him I might add. Eh,
Vegeta?" "Shut up Kakarot!"
"Silence...Glaive...Supri." "WAIT!!" "What?" Chibi-Moon ran up next to her closest
friend. "You can?t use that! You?ll die." Chibi-Moon began to sniffle. "Don?t
worry. I?m not going to use ALL of it." "Sure?" "Positive." "Ok." Chibi-Moon
backed off uncertainly. A look of concern flashed on her face as Saturn raised
her glaive over her head. "Silence..." The air around Sailor Saturn super heated
and began to ripple as a deafening rumble began.
"Kakarot. Wh..What is this power?" "I don?t know. Maybe Trunks returned." "That
boy doesn?t have this much power. Wait. Look!" Vegeta pointed at Saturn. "It?s
her. That girl!"
"Glaive..." Energy bolts started leaping from her glaive to the ground. The sky
turned black.
"How can such a small girl possess so much power?" "I don?t know, but it?s about
the same power felt when someone summons Shen-long." "WHAT?! But that means.."
"That she could be stronger than us!" Goku jumped up. Luna fell out of his lap
and hit the ground, still asleep. "GOTEN!!! RUN!" Goten looked over at his
father. Never once had his dad told him to run away from anything. "Maybe he?s
just joking around with me. Well, I?ll show him I?m better than to fall for one
of his stunts." Goten took a stance so that he?d meet the blast head on. Goku
got up on his chair. "GOTEN!! holy..." Goku covered his mouth in shock.
The energy blots suddenly stopped. And a rushing sound was heard as streaks of
energy flowed into the blade of the glaive from the air around it. The blade
glowed yellow. And all went silent.
Saturn cocked her head to one side. She had a devilish look on her face.
"Surprise."
She slammed the glaive back over her head and into the ground. All the yellow
energy shot out of the blade with incredible force and hurled itself at Goten.
He couldn?t move quickly enough.
Time stood still for Goku. Images of his son being killed filled his mind. ?No,
I won?t let her take my son!? Goku went super saiya-jin and ran in front of
Goten. He quickly formed a ki shield and the energy smashed into it. Goku tried
to hold his stance but soon his legs began to lose ground. Once more, images of
Goten dead filled Goku?s mind. "NO!!!" He felt a huge wave of energy flash into
him. He regained his foothold but felt something tug slightly on his head. And
it was over, in less than a second.
The explosion completely destroyed the hill and threw Vegeta, the two sleeping
cats, and Diana hundreds of yards away. Dust rose many miles up in the air. Only
Saturn, out of everyone, remained standing.
"Dad, you blocked it." Goku turned to his son. He smiled. "Man, that was some
attack! Look what you did, Dad." "Hmm? What?" Goten pointed at his hair. "You
went super saiya-jin..3!" "I did?" Goku glanced over his shoulder at his hair.
"Wow, I did."
Sailor Saturn collapsed and detransformed. "Hotaru!" The other senshi
detransformed as well and ran to their friend. "Are you all right?! Speak to
me!" Chibi-usa shook Hotaru gently. Hotaru opened her eyes a bit. "I?m fine.
Just need.. to rest." She fell asleep. Goku dropped out of super saiya-jin and
walked over the rest. "Lets stop. I feel I pushed you guys too far. Sorry for
making you guys do that." "It?s ok Goku-san. No one got hurt much." "Thanks,
Mama..Maom.." "Mamoru." "Mamoru. I?m so bad at names." "I can?t believe you
blocked the glaive attack." "Yeah, well. Us here are a bit stronger than most."
"So I gathered."
"DINNER!!" Chichi yelled from the door. "Come on guys lets go eat." Goku bent
down and scooped a sleeping Hotaru up in his arms. The others went in to eat.
Goten walked up next to Goku. "What an awesome power she's got." "She could be a
great fighter too." "Dad, you?re not suggesting.." "If I train her she?ll be the
greatest girl fighter in the world." Goten rolled his eyes. "Not if I have
anything to say about it." Father and son turned to Vegeta. He walked up to the
pair, with two sleeping cats draped over his shoulders and another perched on
his head. Goku held back a good laugh. "What.. makes you.. think.. that Vegeta?
..Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!" Vegeta scowled. "Well I?M going to train that Kino
girl." "Who?" Goten ignored his father rolling around on the ground laughing up
a storm. "That brown haired one. She has,.. potential." "Oh. Hey I?m getting
hungry. Let?s go eat." The two went to the house. They left Goku, rolling around
in the yard. And the sun set behind the mountains.
-End Chapter 5-
Well, how ?bout that. Saturn is as powerful as Shen-long? Vegeta petting a cat?
Who?d a thought. Anyway, kind of a short chapter but an important plot point.
You?ll find out later why. Are those cats in a coma or something? Sleeping
through time travel is one thing but, through being thrown several football
fields by a silence glaive surprise? And Goku now is insane. Anyway,
-Next time on The Way Things Work Out- Some people will start training under
others, Goten will leave, the cats will sleep, and something funny will happen.
Not much, but maybe I?ll work in a cameo. Till next time. C-ya.
